you are right in the middle of sizes IMHO. You will need to get 19" as the 17" is sold out but personally I would prefer 17" to 19" and I am same height. Can you not get there to try? Can you not call them to ask they are ok in shop despite what people here say

inside leg of 33cm - shortarse. i am 6'1" and the 19" fits me perfectly - to the point where a custom frame would not fit any better.

Depends on your riding style...If you want a bigger frame to eat the miles, the 19 will be good, but if you want it smaller and chuckable off road, you would want the 17"

I drove [s]down[/s] up from P'boro to be sure!

For the record, 5'7" 31" inside leg and went for a 17" as they do come up short on the TT.

I would say a 17". 5'11" upwards for a 19". You can always run a longer stem, though thats not a very fashionable thing to say these days.
